The shop has been open 9 months now So I figured it was time to visit. I always wait until the newness and crowd die down. Wow, it is so much cuter than I even thought. I thought it would be more coffee so and sparse on books but it is the total opposite. We visited around 10 on a Saturday morning. It was buzzing, but the line was short and quick for a treat. There are so many books to peruse. It's all romance and fantasy, not my genres, but this is the place that would make you become a romantasy girlie! The decor alone is gothic and gorgeous, from the tiled floor to the dark corners, there is whimsy everywhere. There are a few tables, some plush chairs, and lots of bar height seats. Besides books to purchase, there are bookish sweatshirts, stickers, candles, bookmarks, jewelry, and charms. This is a magical shop that you can return to again and again.

I recently stopped by The Bookish Shop in Gilbert and was so glad I did. The moment I walked in, I found a cozy café tucked among bookshelves filled with well-curated titles, specialty editions, and merch-worthy bookish finds. I grabbed a latte, settled into a comfy seat, and browsed the selection, it felt like the perfect blend of café and bookstore. The staff were friendly and not only helped me pick a book I’ll be excited about, but also pointed out the day’s pastry special. If you're looking for a spot in the East Valley to hang out with a book and a sip, The Bookish Shop is definitely worth a visit.

This is what Arizona has been missing for local bookstores and coffee shops! Absolutely adore this place. The staff is always super friendly, their variety of genres cater to all types of readers, their drinks (regular, specialty, & holiday) really get you in the spirit of reading. It’s always a great time whenever I visit!

I’ve been dying to come here for weeks now since I saw a post on TikTok. This place is amazing!! It’s so beautiful inside and the selection of books is really vast. The vibes are very welcoming and the workers are super sweet and helpful. The atmosphere is very chill and I love hearing others talk about books around me or offer book recommendations. I purchased a beautiful Dark romance book, a bookmark, and a Lara Jean Tea. Awesome experience overall. Can’t wait to come back soon! Finally found a place I can relax at. 😊❤️

Super cute! Love the ambiance, the selection of books, the drinks, and the idea! The books definitely cater to a very specific audience (lots of fantasy, YA, romance). While those aren’t my current cup of tea, I’ll probably pick one up to read and support this amazing shop the next time I’m in. I got a “death incarnate” drink and it was fantastic. Love all the details they put into this place. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood. There’s also a nice bathroom - a must for any coffee shop!
